ZILINA, Slovakia (AP) -Armenia scored four second-half goals to upset
Slovakia 4-0 in the Euro 2012 qualifying on Tuesday.

Yura Movsisyan netted in the 57th minute after the Slovak defense
failed to clear a corner kick. Henrik Mkhitaryan added the second
with a low, long-range shot that took Slovak goalkeeper Jan Mucha
by surprise.

Gevorg Ghazaryan scored 10 minutes before the end and substitute
Artur Sarkisov finished the Slovaks off in injury time.

The second loss in the qualifying campaign is a blow to Slovakia’s
hopes to qualify for next year’s tournament in Poland and Ukraine.

Slovakia is tied with Armenia for the third in Group B with 14 points,
three behind leading Russia.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
